TEMPE, Ariz. -- Sun Devil Athletics' track record of innovation and community responsibility earned prestigious recognition this week. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USG Corporation chose Arizona State as the winner of its second annual Sustainability Award on Wednesday.
The award recognizes NACDA member institutions across all divisions, and honors athletics directors and universities for incorporating sustainable practices and materials into their athletic facilities.
"It's important to the environment, it's important to Arizona State and it's in keeping with President Crow's initiative to be carbon neutral by 2025 so we're doing everything we can," Senior Associate Athletic Director of Operations and Facilities Mike Chismar said.
